    A Real Estate Appraisal Company for Commercial Property in Ontario

    Aion Appraisals is an independent real estate appraisal company in Ontario that works only on commercial property: office, retail, industrial, multi-unit buildings of five or more units, mixed-use, farms and land. Every report is signed by an AACI-designated appraiser and prepared to CUSPAP, usually 5–10 business days after the site visit. We do not appraise houses, condominiums or buildings of up to four units.

    What a real estate appraisal company does, and what Aion does not

    A real estate appraisal company produces an independent, written opinion of a property's market value for a stated purpose and date, signed by a designated appraiser and relied on by lenders, courts, tribunals, the CRA and the people who hire it. In Ontario the designation that covers every property type is the AACI; the CRA designation is limited to residential property of up to four units.

    Aion works on commercial property only. If you need a house, a condominium or a duplex, triplex or fourplex appraised, use the Appraisal Institute of Canada's Find an Appraiser directory and choose a CRA or AACI appraiser near the property. We will say so on the phone too, so you do not lose a day.

    How to choose a real estate appraisal company

    Five checks, in the order lenders apply them:

    1. Designation. For commercial property the signing appraiser holds the AACI. Verify any name in the AIC directory.
    2. Standards. The report is prepared to CUSPAP, the standard every Appraisal Institute of Canada member must follow; it is what lenders and tribunals test a report against.
    3. Independence. The appraiser has no interest in the property or the transaction and is paid a fee, never a percentage of the value.
    4. Scope and turnaround in writing. A quote that states the purpose, the intended users, the effective date and the delivery date before work starts. Ours is usually 5–10 business days after the site visit.
    5. Who signs. Ask who will inspect and who will sign. At Aion every report is signed by an AACI-designated appraiser: Ashita Chandra, AACI, P.App, or another AACI on the team.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about our commercial appraisal services

    What types of properties do you appraise?

    We appraise all types of commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, multi-unit residential, mixed-use developments, vacant land, and specialized properties.

    Do you appraise houses or small residential buildings?

    No. Houses, condominiums and buildings of up to four units are residential work, outside our practice; use the Appraisal Institute of Canada's Find an Appraiser directory. We appraise multi-unit residential buildings of five or more units.

    How long does a commercial appraisal take?

    Usually 5–10 business days after the site visit, depending on the property and the comparable evidence available. Rush service may be available; ask when you request a quote.

    Are your appraisals accepted by lenders?

    Reports are prepared to CUSPAP and to major lender standards, and are addressed to the users you name. Tell us who the report is for when you request the quote so it is addressed correctly.

    What does a real estate appraisal company charge?

    Fees are quoted per property, because the work depends on the property type, size, income complexity and the purpose of the report. You receive a written quote before any work starts. See what affects the fee.

    Is a real estate appraisal company the same as a valuation firm?

    Yes. Appraisal and valuation are the same service: an independent opinion of market value under CUSPAP, signed by a designated appraiser. Lenders and lawyers say appraisal; owners and accountants say valuation. See commercial property valuation.

    Do you provide appraisals for insurance purposes?

    Absolutely. We provide replacement cost appraisals for insurance coverage, claims support, and risk assessment throughout Ontario.

    Can you help with tax assessment appeals?

    Yes. A valuation at the relevant assessment date is the evidence an Assessment Review Board appeal rests on. See our tax assessment appeal appraisals.
